Yesterday I installed the newest versions from both

  which libtool;  libtool  --version
  /usr/local/bin/libtool
  ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2.6
  Written by Gordon Matzigkeit <address@hidden>, 1996

  which automake; automake --version
  /usr/local/bin/automake
  automake (GNU automake) 1.11

My build.log told me that compilation was successful last night but the Octave 
binary is broken - so the process stopped in the doc directory when trying to 
create the graphics files. I think that my mach-o/dyld interface is broken now, 
cf. my short Octave session

  bash$ ./run-octave --quiet
  error: unique: got NSObjectFileImageReturnCode 2

I think the easiest thing for me now would be that I change the configure.ac 
file and that I try to compile against dlopen instead of dyld...
